quiet and close to everything, no noise and cvs next door, close to bus line and central to shopping center. need to walk can get almost anywhere in 20 minutes
Diversity of ages, genders, races and cultures and residence obviously interact positively and there is also activities that many participate in and appear to enjoy. In addition transportation is available to everyone.
It's age friendly because it has a senior center, a huge garden club, two libraries, local parks, a revived downtown with an old movie theater. Coffee and ice cream shops, restaurants, historical society and,a civic pride club, all kinds of local fun things to do or join. The area is also nice for young people but not as much fun as Boston. But close.
Trash and recycling is picked up. Gardening is done, grass is mowed.. Snow is removed, including driveways and all walks. Swimming pool is provided and kept clean. Tennis courts are kept in good repair.
All moved in at the same time. And paid off our houses.nine houses in all. There is a senior center for old farts like me. And my crusty old wife. We like dogs.
It is an age friendly neighborhood because people from all walks of life and all age groups are living there. There are activities for everyone, and nobody is excluded.
Walking to get everywhere. Different ages and demographics. We have a lot of parks and playgrounds around town but we also have school playgrounds that are available after school and on holidays.
Age-related activities within walking distance. Many discounts at local businesses. Chain businesses also offer discounts for senior citizens. Businesses welcome employing senior citizens.
The residents are of similar age. Also neighbors look out for each other. Neighborhood is very quiet. Office Staff is helpful and friendly. The staff has cookouts and other events.
The town of north andover massachusetts is quite friendly for all ages, young and old alike. They have social services specifically targeted to the elderly in the area.
